I don't understand how and why previously successful actors become involved with toilet humour projects like this. The Mexican housekeeper is funny though; hence the 3 stars.
I can't figure out what the purpose of this movie was or what it was trying to do. I don't know if it was attempting to display overacting on purpose as a parody of itself or if they were actually trying to be serious. Whatever it was it failed miserably. The result was an awkward movie that I had a hard time watching. It was caught in between something and something else. Very strange that they would even release this the way it turned out. They should have saved themselves some embarrassment and just shoved this one into the archives. It was absolutely terrible on all fronts. Not one good thing I can even think to say about this movie (well maybe that every scene didn't have them smoking fake cigarettes like a lot of others are doing these days) and I'm being generous. This is Hollywood at it's worst but hey, they've been doing a lot of this kind of garbage lately so this is nothing new. This is one of those flicks that almost makes me want to stop wasting my time watching movies. Luckily there are still some decent ones around but this is not one of them. Now I need to go find some deodorizer to get rid of the stink that is still in my nose. What is that smell anyway?
I can't believe I paid to watch this on sky, managed 20 minutes before turning off. Uma and Tim, what were you thinking.
The con is on is by far the worst movie of 2018 don't waste your time and your money on this movie bad screenplay , bad directing , and so on but surprisingly great cast of actors and good performances
I hope this cast would have done different movie
Despite the fact the main characters are actors I usually like, the movie itself is a disaster. The plot seemed kind of interesting at the beginning, it presented some good elements, cars, houses, beautiful photography and beautiful location but everything was just superficial and the characters' storyline doesn't get deeper, real nor interesting.
The script seems messy and the action is going nowhere.
I got bored halfway through it and still expected something interesting to happen but there wasn't a single interesting moment during the 90 minutes of the movie. It lacks consistency and purpose.
